A SYMPOSIUM
The Practicability of Reaching’ the^Russian’and Slavonic
Peoples of Europe Through Their Brothers Now
in the United States and Canada
PROF. I. V. NEPRASH of Philadelphia
MY heart was stirred yesterday when I listened to the brethren
talk about the foreign people in America. God bless you,
especially you dear co-workers among our Russian brethren!
I believe personal work among them is the best. I was told last night
about a worker who went along the streets of Chicago in a dark place.
It was in the night, and he saw a small house, just a barracks more
than a house. It was very hard to find the entrance, but he found it
and went in and saw some Russians drinking. They began to threaten
him. "How could you come in? Aren’t you afraid?" "Oh, no, I am
not afraid." "What are you doing here? What is your purpose?
Aren’t you afraid we will hurt you, or kill you?" "Oh, I am not alone,
so I am not afraid." They looked in the entrance to see if anyone
came with him, and they didn’t see anybody there. "Who is with
you?" Then he told them: "God is with me. I will speak about
Him." And then the Russians took off their hats, and it means some-
thing. The appearance of a man, better dressed than they, who comes
to them with peace on his face and with love—it impresses the Russian
people more than anything else. Therefore I am glad that our Insti-
tute was established in America and not in Russia. You know many
of the Russians who had been exiled to foreign countries because of
their political opinions, are now back, especially from America; and
if some brethren and sisters will go back to Russia now as Christians,
the people will receive more from them in Russia, because they will
give them some signs of their new life. God bless these friends that
are working! God bless the students who are preparing for the field!
God bless the Tract Society here in Chicago, which is doing its great
work!
MR. HENRY SINGER of Toronto
I want to say just a word. While I have been engaged for thirty
years in work for the Jews, the Lord has given me a heart for these
people of the Slavonic races. Since I realized the love of God for
me, and since I loved my Saviour, I love the Slavonic people, I love
